Mass-Gaps and Spin Chains for (Super) Membranes

Abhishek Agarwal

We present a method for computing the non-perturbative mass-gap in the theory of Bosonic membranes in flat background spacetimes with or without background fluxes. The computation…

Quantum Hall Effect in Higher Dimensions, Matrix Models and Fuzzy Geometry

Dimitra Karabali, V. P. Nair

We give a brief review of quantum Hall effect in higher dimensions and its relation to fuzzy spaces. For a quantum Hall system, the lowest Landau level dynamics is given by a one-d…

BPS R-balls in N=4 SYM on R X S^3, Quantum Hall Analogy and AdS/CFT Holography

Jian Dai, Xiao-Jun Wang, Yong-Shi Wu

In this paper, we propose a new approach to study the BPS dynamics in N=4 supersymmetric U(N) Yang-Mills theory on R X S^3, in order to better understand the emergence of gravity i…

The Chern-Simons One-form and Gravity on a Fuzzy Space

V. P. Nair

The one-dimensional -matrix Chern-Simons action is given, for large and for slowly varying fields, by the -dimensional Chern-Simons acti…

The Matrix Chern-Simons One-form as a Universal Chern-Simons Theory

V. P. Nair

We consider different large limits of the one-dimensional Chern-Simons action $i\int dt~ \Tr (\del_0 +A_0)$ where is an antihermitian matr…

The fermion density operator in the droplet bosonization picture

Alberto Enciso, Alexios P. Polychronakos

We derive the phase space particle density operator in the 'droplet' picture of bosonization in terms of the boundary operator. We demonstrate that it satisfies the correct algebra…

Open Spin Chains in Super Yang-Mills at Higher Loops: Some Potential Problems with Integrability

Abhishek Agarwal

The super Yang-Mills duals of open strings attached to maximal giant gravitons are studied in perturbation theory. It is shown that non-BPS baryonic excitations of the gauge theory…

BPS Operators in N=4 SYM: Calogero Models and 2D Fermions

Abhishek Agarwal, Alexios P. Polychronakos

A connection between the gauge fixed dynamics of protected operators in superconformal Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions and Calogero systems is established. This connection gen…
